Your Maternity Photo Shoot: Sexy Lingerie or Flirty Dresses?

A boudoir photo shoot can be nerve-wracking at any stage in life, but staging one during your pregnancy presents unique challenges. For instance, what do you plan on doing with your photos after the shoot? Will you display some inside your home? Are you planning on sharing the photos with your child someday? Or are you planning on keeping them secret for you and your partner's eyes only? Even if you feel strongly one way or the other, your maternity photo shoot will benefit from both sexy lingerie and flirty dresses.

Your Sexy Photos

While you might not feel it now, your pregnant body is incredibly sexy, and I bet your partner thinks so too. After all, your maternal body is a very public and physical proclamation of your love for each other. Because you will only have this pregnant body one time in your life, I like to capture it in at least some sexy poses. Bring along lingerie that makes you feel good and that showcases your assets (especially your baby belly). Sheer lingerie works well for this purpose as does a simple bra and panty set. Tasteful nude photos also work well to show off your sexy pregnant body.

Photos for Mom

Of course, cute, flirty dresses are good for pictures that you want to share with anyone aside from your partner. Because maternity shoots are centered around your pregnant body, anything you bring should define your belly. To that end, think beyond baby doll dresses. Button down shirts work well for keeping you modest but still showcasing your belly. Skirts also give me a chance to make sure your belly can be seen in your pictures. 

A maternity photo shoot is a great way to capture and remember your body during this amazing time in your life. Bring clothes that make you feel great, and don't be afraid to get outside your comfort zone when it comes to sexy lingerie or bearing it all.
